Personalities are made up of many different characteristics and ideas. Most of the ideas are based on societal, cultural, or common beliefs. Unfortunately some of the beliefs that are taught give people the power to destroy others either physically or emotionally. I used to be one of the people who destroyed others emotionally and it took me a long time to realize it. I wrote this poem based on personal experience. I hope that it stops others from doing the same thing I did.

This poem reflects my views on friendship. I was once with a bunch of very dear friends at a camp known as the Illinois Teenage Institute (ITI).When it was time for us all to leave each other, one of the guys said to remember that if we needed each other all we had to do was look at the stars. Since I moved to college, I have understood and appreciated the concept much more. I was down in the dumps one night and walking when this poem came to mind, so I wrote it and sent it to my friends. I would now like to share it with everyone in this world who realizes the importance of friendship.

I wrote this poem about my childhood and the friends that resided there. I hope that anyone who reads this remembers and cherishes their childhood as much as I.

I wrote this poem to describe the moment I fell in love with a very special man. It has very special meaning to me and I hope that you will like it as much as I.
